Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski has revealed that he met his boyfriend Trace Lehnhoff on Instagram, saying it’s the “2019 way.”

Porowski, who is Queer Eye’s food expert, revealed that he met his partner on social media during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. He also said that he and Lehnhoff have been seeing each other since last summer.

During a segment in which viewers call in and ask questions, Porowski was asked what the first meal he cooked for Lehnhoff was.

“Actually, I know exactly what it was. It was a pappardelle with crumbled sausage and white wine parsley lemon zest sauce.”

During the appearance on Andy Cohen’s show, Porowski also played a game where he had to hypothetically select his Queer Eye co-stars for a variety of situations.

He revealed that—if he had to choose—he would pick Tan France to direct him in an erotic photoshoot, saying: “He knows my angles.”

He said he would pick Jonathan Van Ness as his wingman if he was still single, and if he had to pick one of the Fab Five to borrow money from, he would pick Bobby Berk.

Porowski confirmed that he was in a relationship with Trace Lehnhoff last December when he posted a photo to Instagram of them holding hands.

“Some people want to define themselves and they should as it is part of their identity. For me personally, I’ve never really had a label for myself.”

The couple had turned heads the week before when they attended GQ’s Men of the Year Party in Los Angeles together.

Lehnhoff also reportedly accompanied Porowski to several Emmy parties in September, according to Us Weekly.

Antoni Porowski’s sexuality is ‘a little more fluid’

Last April, Porowski discussed his sexuality, explaining that he is “a little more fluid” along the spectrum of sexuality in an interview with Gay Times.

“Today I’m gay, I’m in a gay relationship, and that’s where I am. That’s good enough for me.”

“Some people want to define themselves and they should as it is part of their identity. For me personally, I’ve never really had a label for myself,” he said.

“Today I’m gay, I’m in a gay relationship, and that’s where I am. That’s good enough for me.”

Porowski made a name for himself on Netflix’s reboot of Queer Eye where he stars as one of the Fab Five.

The third season of the show hit Netflix on March 15.
